discussion topic: EU fines intel 1.45 billions USD

this is not the first time Intel is being fined , they have been fined by EU before also

Yes, that's due to Antitrust rule in EU.

It's not too good to fine like this .Every businessmen
want his product to be sold than others,for that he may have his own tricks.It's other responsibilty to tackle the trick.

See Raja,

When become of any reason, you have created a monopoly, government has to step in for benefit of society even in a capitalist set up.

illegal...work of.....intel

At the time of nuclear agreement with America..I heard about 123 agreement.plz let me
know abt it..and y is so called?

Microprocessor is invariable a competitive world needing constant innovation and lower prices. Intel being learder in this should not influse upcoming vendors like AMD and others..This will lead to market monopoly and also not much room for new innovations. Competetion always bring the best and Monopoly ruins it.

Well said robin...the new ones should get chance to come up.....and no monopoly should be there.
